Just came in from removing the warning stickers off my 13 and thought i would share what i have found to make this job a piece of cake. I just learned this over time, because i was sick of spending hours taking the warning stickers coming off in a million tiny pieces on my iq's that i had previously. Took me a total of 15 mins to remove the 3 console stickers the 5 tunnel stickers and the 4 reflectors.
The key here is heat.
I use a cheap heat gun and it makes removal a breeze...For the console vents i turn my gun on low and swap between peeling a little and re-heating. If the sticker breaks abruptly, not enough heat. If it stretches slightly and breaks, too much heat. If you do it just right you can get the sticker off in one piece everytime. Pull up a tiny little bit at a time and then re-grip as close to the "base " of the sticker as you can.
For the tunnel it doesnt really work too apply heat from the top because the aluminum absorbs so much of the heat. You really need constant heat here. I turn my heat gun on high and apply constant heat to the underneath of the sticker. Once you feel it start to get warm then start peeling. The two directly over the coolers will take a good bit of heat before you start to feel the sticker area get warm. the other 3 in the middle of the tunnel dont take near as much heat. Use the same method for removing the red reflectors from the rear of the tunnel if desired.
Hope this helps somebody. I know it would have helped me a ton had i seen it 2 years ago.
Cheers
